Poland v. San Marino - 26th March

26^th March 2013

Stadion Narodowy, Warsaw

World Cup Qualifier

Poland v. San Marino

Next in line to give San Marino a tonking is a Poland team reeling from a disappointing home defeat to Ukraine last Friday which saw them drop to fourth place in the table and leaves their hopes of reaching the World Cup teetering on the brink.

So no doubt they will be looking for a confidence booster against San Marino and three points to make their position in the table look slightly rosier.

This will be the seventh meeting between the two, making Poland San Marino’s most played opponent, edging ahead of Belgium, Scotland and Netherlands stuck on six.

Poland obviously won all of those previous matches but it’s not been as straightforward as you might expect.

The first meeting in April 1993 in Lodz, a 1994 World Cup qualifier, was only won with a solitary 70^th minute goal for Poland.  There have also been two 2-0 wins for the Poles.  The most recent encounter was a 10-0 mauling though...
